Learn to make the mess yourself
No class of twenty, no worksheet. Just you, me, a canvas and two hours. Total beginners are genuinely welcome — most of my students have never opened a tube of paint.

Book itFour-session block

Four two-hour sessions built around one goal — a portrait, a lettering style, or just getting confident with paint.

How payment works
Four ways to settle up
Card (pay now)
Pick "Card" on the form and pay right on the site — it's marked paid the moment it clears.
Apple Pay
I send a payment request to your phone number or email — tap once with Face ID and you're done.
Venmo
Send to @Lydia-Westmoreland-2 with the piece name in the note.
Check or cash
Cash at local pickup, or mail a personal check — I'll reply with the mailing address.
Fill out the form and you'll get a confirmation email right away with your details and exactly what happens next for the payment method you picked. Card payments happen on the site; the other three we settle directly.
Sessions run evenings and weekends. Tell me your availability and what you'd like to make, and I'll send back two or three times that work.
